It's been 30 years since our paths last crossed, but Jerry is one of those people who made a positive impression on me that will always be remembered. I remember his retirement party as if it were yesterday.

Through many years of friendship with Jerry and Tess, attending Moon Beach camp every summer, playing cards, riding busses to various casinos,maneuver was there an occasion of a loss for lots of laughs and fun. Enjoyment was always full and rampant. We will miss our dear friend. Bill and Betty Wagner

All because of you! Thank

Thanks for passing down the green thumb. Heaven has acquired one of the finest.

Well Uncle "Tracy" will be joining his Step Brother, Jerry (now you understand the nick name "Tracy") up in heaven. Those 2 will be giving the angels a run for their money! I can only imagine the trouble they will get into. My Dad, Jerry Wagner, adored Tracy & Tess. I always looked forward to their visits, for your sides would hurt from laughing and your eyes would be filled with happy tears from the stories, jokes that were told. I just want to pass on my sympathies to the whole family. They were the lucky ones who were able to enjoy his kind heart, funny jokes and remarkable memories that Uncle Tracy always shared. He will be missed, but watch your back, there is shenanigans brewing. All my love Laura (Wagner) Bruederle

Always a fun picnic with the Wagner "Boys" picking on their Step Brother "Tracy"
